Looks like a great opportunity, but a terrible place to work.

Pros

Flexible work from home policy.

Cons

Bad and a very dated work culture. No managerial support, no training inclusive for the senior managers / directors. No Human Resources department. Lack of care, ethics and positive recognition for peoples long hard working hours. Terrible cross department blame culture. Owner employs an unusual amount of own family members and friends of the family, who all learn on the job despite the level of seniority they join the business at. The company have a constant very high turnover of staff, especially within the project management team, and are unphased by this. Incredibly unhealthy place to work, breaks down self esteem. This view is shared by all of the staff I have spoken to that have and still work here. Reports to management are often ignored. Very disappointed and concerned about current and future employees of this company and its toxic environment.

Pros

Can’t really think of many, disappointing experience all round Some lovely colleagues

Cons

Poor interdepartmental communication Late payment of expenses every month Production can’t make the timelines agreed to Frequent late delivery of projects Very incestuous employment, many relatives and friends in employment No opportunity to be honest with clients when projects are running late to mitigate damage, we get told to just push on Too many new staff, seems to be a high staff turnover as the norm - makes you wonder
